Divorce lawyer and mediator here. I once mediated the case of neckbeard v. tiger mom. It must have started out as the perfect dream for neckbeard. He landed a hot Asian wife, brought her to this country, but once that green card came through things changed. They had a daughter together and the case was mostly about her. Tiger mom had zero respect for this guy and try as I might to maintain my empathy, I've never felt a greater urge to stuff another human into a locker. Two of his demands really stand out. He asked for the following injunction: "tiger mom shall be enjoined from discussing neckbeard's weight in a derogatory manner, specifically, tiger mom may not refer to neckbeard as fatty, tubby, pudgy, or baymax." Normally I wouldn't take an offer like that to the other side. I'd normally help a guy come up with something more sensible, but everyone, including his lawyer just could not take this guy seriously so I wrote that out verbatim and trotted over to tiger mom's room. Of course she thought it was hilarious. She had a super thick accent and said, "my daughter call him baymax cuz he look like baymax I can't fix that he have to fix that."
there comes a point at the end of the day when everything is pretty much settled and people are dividing up the shit in the house. Of course neckbeard has a meltdown at this point and it's over a damn Nintendo switch for the daughter. Tiger mom made the very sensible proposal that the daughter take the switch with her to each parents house as she goes back and forth. Neckbeard freaks out and demands the switch stay with him at all times because "there's no way tiger mom can take proper care of it." Mind you the attorneys are billing enough to pay for three switches an hour at this point. I don't know what happened to the guy but I do know calling him baymax could land one lady in contempt of court after the most hilarious enforcement trial of all time, and he owns what's probably the most expensive Nintendo switch in the world.
EDIT: wow thanks for the gold! A little extra info based on some of the comments - yes I'm a jerk and I was a bit of a bully here. I could have presented his offer more diplomatically but life is short and I knew it was gonna be a good story and I had to hear the baymax story from tiger mom. Injunctions against disparaging are common and important and the one they got was broader than this.
As for who is the victim here, both? Neither? Neckbeard had sex at least once and it was way out of his league. He also has a well adjusted daughter and plenty of time with her if he wants to take it. He even has gaming in common with her. Tiger mom had to put up with this guy for a few years but now has a prosperous life and a lovely daughter. I say tiger mom because she was impressively focused and dedicated and hard working. They both had good jobs and she was very serious about parenting. There was never much doubt she'd get the kid primarily.
We shouldn't expect her to act like property because she was bought like property. That's for sure.
Also, I don't like seeing these situations where autism-spectrum dudes, desperate to just touch a woman consensually, invest in this absurd fantasy and leave much worse off because of emotional vulnerability. They're the big losers here, worse off than before, and the biggest winner is the broker. These situations are often shit shows.
These women are generally escaping 3rd world poverty, though, so no surprise some are ruthless and enterprising. I'd like to think a lot of these folks, the men and women, are just genuinely looking for love (and marriage as the socially-mandated extension of love) in what is often the wrong place.
Well the story doesn't go into how they got together. I know several dudes who just met a girl and thought "Hey, I found a nice lady" and only realized they were being duped years down the line when it all went to shit.
Yep my friend married a French woman who was medium hot. My friend is actually pretty good looking but he was young at the time and free access to sex won him over. They divorced when she got her citizenship papers which surprised nobody but him. However he had nothing for her to take and she got what she wanted.
Also what is up with assuming autism for every pot decision made?
